The revenue from the trade during the show is estimated to be up to 200 million baht. The concept of today’s show “Energy-Saving Innovations and Technologies for Entrepreneurs” stems from the demand of industrial operators who wish to use less energy in order to reduce production cost, especially energy bills from lighting, air conditioning, cooling and other electrical appliances.
The “PEA presents EcoLightTech Asia 2015” will be held together with the other 2 new shows which are the “C-Tech 2015”, gathering all energy-saving products in cooling systems for instance cooler, air conditioner, and temperature controller for industrial operators, and the “SolarTech 2015”, comprising of all products, services, and counsel regarding solar energy for industrial sector. This is going to be a large platform for solar panel manufacturers, and manufacturing tools from leading exhibitors across the world. These three shows, consequently, will be the most comprehensive gathering of all cutting-edged technologies and innovations for energy saving that best suits the demand of operators who wish to prepare for the future competition.
Interesting highlights in the events are, for example, Energy-Saving Showcase, an exhibition space for various technologies and innovations in energy saving that visitors can apply in real life, Energy-Saving Conference and Workshops, where over 10 interesting topics in energy will be discussed, and visitors can attend free of charge, and Energy-Saving Advice Clinic, a counseling center for operators, and those who are interested in energy cost reduction for both households and industries.
Dr. Dusit Krua-ngam, the President of the Thai Photovoltaic Industries Association said that the cooperation between the Thai Photovoltaic Industries Association and NEO to hold the “SolarTech 2015” is a good sign for new entrepreneurs, and businesspeople who wish to learn and start business in solar energy, to directly negotiate with manufacturers and plant owners. At the same time, manufacturers or distributors who wish to expand markets could take this opportunity to present their products, innovations, or technologies in solar energy to target customers from different industries.
